Those who direct our education, the faculty of Marietta High School, are among the best equipped in the country to carry out their job. They have taught at least two years elsewhere and have graduated from creditable institutions with one or more degrees to their credit. The subjects offered are many and varied and there- fore the scholastic rating of the school is un- deniably high. Principal Shuler Antley Much thought on the part of these faculty members goes into the planning of their courses so that the most important points can receive the greatest emphasis. Their courses are outlined well in advance and are adjusted to fit the needs of the pupils. Faculty meetings are held at short intervals under the leadership of Mr. Antley. On such occasions the various indi- vidual problems which the teachers encounter in their subjects or classrooms are discussed and solutions offered. This general attitude of helpfulness and cooper- ation tends toward securing unity and understanding. Whenever possible these teachers try to give individual attention and instruction where it is most needed. Also they give much careful thought to the different pu- pils ' needs in the college which he will attend or in the wcrk which he plans to do. Their patience and interest is to be appreciated and applauded by all.

SECTION ONE All of us are to be scholars in the school of life. One should think of education, not as an occupation for a few brief years but as the business of life. The influences which go to make up this training are the mind of the Past, Nature, and Action. By the mind of the Past I mean literature, history, and philosophy, sub- jects in school and college. But they are not unrelated units on which examinations are to be passed in order that the subjects may be for- gotten ; they are rather, the materials from which selection is to be made, according to the needs of the builder, for the world which is his conception of the meaning of life. — Ralph Waldo Emerson.
